I will admit that there were times in the past decade and one-half that I feared we would never reduce toxic emissions from power plants . Last month, EPA proposed a regulation to reduce emissions of mercury and other toxic pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants. These plants are a very…

(ATLANTA – Apr. 5, 2011) – Today, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a final determination that the Rome area meets the 1997 federal fine particulate matter standard. The Rome area includes Floyd County, Georgia in its entirety

As a teen when I heard the word energy I automatically thought of coffee, sugary snacks, and anything that could get me through the day. Unfortunately that is not where energy that powers our daily lives – home, school, work, etc. – comes from! During my time serving as president of my high…

WASHINGTON – As a result of the incident with the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, several EPA air monitors have detected very low levels of radioactive material in the United States consistent with estimated releases from the damaged nuclear reactors

Yes, there is a strong consensus among scientists that the climate has changed. The consensus about current changes is presented in the periodic assessment reports of the IPCC and the US Global Change Research Program. The consensus view is also evident in synthesis reports prepared over the past…

We are certain that the Earth's climate is changing because of the trends that we see in the instrumented climate record and the changes that have been observed in physical and biological systems. The instrumental record of climate change is derived from thousands of temperature and…

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will hold a public hearing on April 5 on a proposal to defer, for three years, Clean Air Act permitting requirements for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from bioenergy and other biogenic sources

By Administrator Lisa P. JacksonWhen we talk about environmentalism, it typically brings to mind sweeping vistas and wide-open landscapes. Some people might think of saving the whales, protecting spotted owls or preserving old-growth forests. Those things are critically important – but they only…
